Well if its just bang bang and more banging, it doesn't really make it interesting to listen to. In my oppinion theres gotta be a progressing flow of energy/intencity at the least (and that really goes for dj mixes too)Quote:

As I said earlier, I rate Loudboxer as an album...
The problem with that is not many people are... It's too easy to bang it out hard and throw a bunch of same sounding tracks together and call it an album... thats more suited to ep's or something (and club/party sets).Quote:

Creative banging is good too as long as its not flat all the way through...
i agree that most 'techno lp's' have a few good tracks and then filled up with less inspiring tracks, but isnt that the point of doing an lp? exploring other sounds and styles? otherwise an lp would just be 2x12"s.
but if you are looking for a quality lp give chris liberators 'set fire' a listen a bit old now but all quality tracks.
Perhaps there is a lack of sustainability, creativity and down right good-tunery, producing a long player has a completly different dynamic to knocking out a 12
I liked a lot of vitalic's stuff but the LP is frankly weak-not in terms of production but the basic tune craft is lacking
